How do I center an ActiveX dialog?
I embed an ActiveX object in an HTML page. The ActiveX object immediately opens an MFC dialog. I want to center this dialog.
The CenterWindow(NULL ) function in the code does not work, nor does writing CENTER before/after the OBJECT or SCRIPT tabs in the HTML.
My code looks like this:
<OBJECT
CLASSID='clsid:xxxxxxxxxxx
ID='MyObj'
></OBJECT>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript">
MyObj.Data="xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
MyObj.DoSomething
</SCRIPT>
What should I do in order to center the AcitveX's dialog?
P.S. - the subsequent dialogs open in the center of the window - no problems here.
Thanks.

ahchong> read the question first before answering because gilbert said :
The CenterWindow(NULL ) function in the code does not work, nor does writing CENTER before/after the OBJECT or SCRIPT tabs in the HTML.
So <CENTER> </CENTER> doesn't work.
Gilbert > I last read an article which said what the properties of an object tag were, so here :
CLASSID - String specifying the identification number of the control. In a client-side browser environment the CLASSID numerals must be preceded with the text CLSID:
ALIGN:
TEXTTOP - top of the object aligned with top of current font
MIDDLE - middle of object aligned with baseline of text line
TEXTMIDDLE - middle of object aligned with middle of text line
BASELINE - bottom of object aligned with baseline of text line
TEXTBOTTOM - bottom of the object is aligned with bottom of the current font
LEFT - object aligned to the left of web page and the text will flow around the right side of the object
CENTER - object aligned in the center of the page and text will end the text line above the object and resume on the next text line down
RIGHT - opposite of left alignment
CODETYPE - specifies the Internet Media Type. This will save download time if the computer does not support a particular codetype.
DATA - contains the URL pointing to data required by the object. q
DECLARE - if this attribute is present, the browser will only load the object into memory and will not execute it until it is referenced.
HEIGHT / WIDTH - sets the height / width of the object in pixels
HSPACE - sets the amount of pixels on the left and right of the object that will pad the object.
VSPACE - Same as HSpace except this defines the pixels above and below the object.
ID - gives the object a document-wide identifier.
NAME - If you use an object in a form the browser will not consider the object as part of the form unless the object is given a name.
STANDBY - A string that will be displayed while the ActiveX control loads.
TYPE - Used to specify the Internet Media Type for the data specified by the DATA attribute.
USEMAP - specifies a URL for a client-side imagemap.
I'm sure my first comment must be the right one then...mmm, check it out.

An example used in that article :
......
<OBJECT ID="fadeScroll" WIDTH=171 HEIGHT=21 ALIGN=CENTER
CODEBASE="http://activex.microsoft.com/controls/mspert10.cab"
CLASSID="CLSID:DFD181E0-5E
STYLE="filter:Alpha(Opacit
